About me
I am currently a PhD. candidate in the department of computer science at Rice University supervised by Professors Xia Hu and Vladimir Braverman. My primary research focuses on the efficiency and safety of large language models. In addition, I collaborate closely with health informaticians at Baylor College of Medicine, leveraging AI to address critical challenges in healthcare.
I'm currently on the job market seeking for academic opportunities.
